ABRAM L. COVEY,y OF ST1 PAUL, NEBRASKA.

PLOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 8, 1909.

Application` filed July 16, 1908. Serial No. 443,830.

To all whom it may concrn Be it known thatl', ABRAM L.` CovEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Howard and State of Nebraska, have inventedl certain new and useful Improvements in Plows, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to lcertain new and useful improvements in plows, and more particularly to a novel means for applying a lateral blade to the land side, the said lateral blade serving to prevent side draft and operating to undermine the soil upon one side of the plow.

The invention further contemplates a novel construction Which admits of proper adjustment of the angle of the blade as required by the nature of the soil in connection with which the plow is being employed.

For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plow having the lateral blade embodying the present invention applied to the land side thereof. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device. Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view through the land side of the plow on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followin description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

For the purpose of illustration the invention is shown as applied to a plow which is of the conventional construction and is formed with a land side 1. Applied to the lower edge of the land side is a bracket 2 which projects inwardly therefrom and is formed with a iange 3 which extends upwardly and fits against the inner face of the land side. This bracket 2 is also provided with a tongue 4 which extends under the land side and terminates in a lip 5 engaging the outer face` of the bolt engaging a clip 10 which is applied to the upper edge of the land side. lt will thus be obvious that by tightening the bolt 9 the bracket 2 may be drawn tightly against the lower edge of the land side and held securely in position. It will also be observed that the flange 3 which projects from the bracket is engaged by a horizontal bolt or fastening member 11 which passes through the land side. An arc-shaped slot 12 which is concentric with the pivot point of the blade is formed in the bracket 2 and receives a clamping bolt 13 which is carried by the blade. .When the bolts 9 and 13 are loosened the horizontal blade 6 can be swung about its pivot and adjusted to any desired angle with respect to the land side the bolt 9 moving within the slot 7 while the clamping bolt 13 moves in the slot 12. When these two bolts are again tightened the blade 6 is locked in an adjusted position and will be held at the required angle to the land side.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. The combination of a plow formed with a land-side, an inwardly extending bracket applied to the lower edge of the land-side and formed with a tongue which extends under the land-side and is provided with means for engaging the outer face thereof, a blade pivotally mounted upon the said tongue and adapted to project outwardly from the landside, means for locking the blade against pivotal movement, a clip applied to the top of the land-side, and connecting means between the clip and the bracket.

2. The combination of a plow formed with a land side, a bracket applied to the lower edge of the land side and formed with a flange extending along the land side, a fastening member connecting the iiange to the land side, a clip applied to the upper edge of the land side, connecting means between the clip and the bracket, and a blade carried by the bracket.

3. The combination of a plow formed with a land side, a bracket applied to the lower edge of the land side, a blade pivotally connected to the bracket and formed with a slot, a clip applied to the upper edge of the land side, and a bolt connecting the clip and the bracket and passing through the slot of the blade.

4. The combination of a plow formed with a land side, a bracket applied to the lower edge of the land side and provided with an face thereof, a blade arc-shaped slot, a blade pivotally connected to the bracket7 a clamping bolt carried by the blade and operating Within the arc-shaped slot of the bracket, a clip applied te the upper edge of the land side, and connecting means between the clip and the bracket.

5. The combination of a ploW formed with a land side, a lateral bracket at the lower edge of the land side, the said lateral bracket being provided With a llange which fits against one face of the land side and also with a tongue which extends under the land side and terminates in a lip engaging the opposite carried by the bracket, a clip applied to the upper edge or' the land side, and connecting means between the clip g and the bracket.

6. The combination of a plow formed With 5 edge of the land side, the said bracket being L i'orlned with a flange litting against one lace ol' the land side and also Withl a tongue extending under the land side and terminating in a lip engaging the opposite side thereof, a blade pivotally connected to the bracket and having an arc-shaped slot therein, a clip applied to the upper edge oi the land side, a bolt connecting the clip and the bracket and passing through the arc-shaped slot of the blade,

and a fastening member connecting` the flange ol' the bracket to the land side.

ln testimony whereof l allixniy signature 1n presence oiI tivo witnesses.
